Agree. In business you will never have enough money or time to do everything right. There are risks in business and managing those risks is a skill that is learned over time. And decisions that need to be made are not digital they are analog in nature. They depend on many factors and different circumstances. Lawyers don't give business advice and everything they do is colored by the bias and fears they have.
In general lawyers are going to be CYA about everything like you mother and father.
Many successful business people and companies play loose and fast and, after making enough money, are able to dig themselves out of any mess they have made or risk they have taken (BP and Exxon are just two examples. And Apple). It all depends.
